Is It Good for Students to Have Part-time Jobs?

Text

School Part-timers

More and more high school students in Beijing are turning their minds to ways of making money.

They are capitalizing on opportunities such as one group of students who went to the front gate of the Children’s Centre in the East District of Beijing when a film studio was there conducting auditions(1).

The group sold the young hopefuls(2) application forms at five fen a piece after getting the forms from the center for free.

Young entrepreneurs are also capitalizing on high demand commodities not always available away from the big shopping centres(3). Birthday or greeting cards are an example. One department store estimated that 80 per cent of its sales of cards are to students for resale.

Xia Li, a junior high school student at Fengtai District in the southwest region of the capital, spent 40 yuan buying cards from downtown shops just before the last Spring Festival.

She sold them at her school and schools nearby at prices 15 to 20 per cent higher than what she had paid. In a month, she earned 100 yuan, representing a 250 per cent return on her initial investment.

A senior high school student who had been selling cards has now become an amateur wholesale dealer(4). His wholesale price is 8 per cent higher than his purchasing price and 10 per cent lower than the retail price(5). Within two months, the had earned several hundred yuan in profits.

Many students have merged their activities to avoid price wars.(6) For example, in an area with few State-owned shops and far from the city center, student union heads from the schools there have reached an agreement on card prices. The agreement says prices may be higher than at the downtown shops but lower than at the peddlers’ stalls.

Card-selling is just a beginning. Some students turn their eyes to other more profitable ventures.

Take one senior high school sophomore who has developed a flourishing business selling photos of famous people. He even has his own name card that reads: The High School Student Corporation Ltd of Exploitation of New Technology(7).

The student carries a portfolio(8) of the photos around with him in an album to show his young customers. He offers a wide variety of photos, from American movie star Sylvester Stallone in Rambo pose to Taiwan’s famous singer Qi Qin(9).

"These all depend on my high quality camera," he boasts and explains how he clopped the pictures from magazines, photographed them and then developed the prints into various sizes. He has sold hundreds. Another student is mow an amateur salesman for a company and earns a three per cent commission(10) on each sale.

When he had earned 300 yuan through his own efforts, he said, "I feel that I have really become an adult."

5. flickering pictures: 閃爍為定的圖像。

II. Read

Read the following passages. Underline the important viewpoints while reading.

1. Why Watch Television?

Matthew: Television is undoubtedly a great invention, but one of the main criticisms of it is that people just aren’t selective enough. Lesley, you’ve got a television; how do you pick out the sorts of programmes you want to watch?

Lesley: I try and look at the programmes that are on to decide which particular ones interest me, rather than you turning it on at seven o’clock and you leaving it on until half-past eleven when the programmes finish.

Matthew: Do you think of television though as a great time-waster?

Lesley: I think it can be a time-waster and it depends on how particular people are about what they want to see...Mm, it can just be a sort of total amusement for someone and totally consuming without really considering what it is they’re watching.

Matthew: Aha, but how do you prevent it coming into your life and taking over your evenings and at the same time perhaps get... get out of the television some of the sort of best things... best programmes that ... that undoubtedly are on television?

Lesley: Well, I suppose one of the problems is... will depend on what a person’s life style is, and that if he has other outside interests which are equally important to him as television, he will then, you know, mm... be more careful about which programmes he wants to watch because he has time which he wants to use for other things.

Matthew: Do you think though that ... that in... in a sense television has killed people’s own er...sort of, creativity or their ability to entertain themselves because if they’re bored all they do is just turn on the television?

Lesley: Yes, I think that is a danger, and I think that... in fact is what is happening to a lot of people who use it as their ... their main ... um field of amusement and ... because they don’t have other outside interests and even when people come round they’ll leave the television on and not be, you know, particularly interested in talking to them, you know the television will be the main thing in the room.

Matthew: Peter, have you a television?

Peter: I have, in fact I’ve got two televisions.

Matthew: Do you watch them a lot?

Peter: Er...no I ...I watch very seldom er... In fact, I find that I watch television most when I’m working which requires nothing of me, then I watch television a lot. When I’ve got more energy left...um ...in my own private time, then I find I do more different things. I do things like um reading, or going out, or working on anything ...my hobbies.

Matthew: Do you think though that people can live a perfectly happy life if they haven’t got a television?

Peter: Oh yes, I think people who don’t have a television or people who don’t watch television can be expected to be more happy. You can assume I think if they never watch television they are happier people than the people who watch a lot of television, because I think that television goes with the kind of life which leaves you with nothing to spare, nothing left, you have to be given potted, passive entertainment.

Matthew: But in that case you...you seem as though you’re completely against television, is that true?

Peter: No, it’s not. I ...I have a television in fact, I have two as I said, but er I ... I ... I think there’s a dilemma, a difficult situation. Television in itself is very good; a ... a lot of the information and a lot of the programmes are very instructive, they introduce you to things you may never have though of before or never have hard about before. But in watching, it makes you very passive; you sit for hour after hour and you get very receptive and very unquestioning and it seems to me the important thing in life is to be active, to ... to do things, to think things and to be as creative as possible, and television prevents this.

III Consider

Does television play a positive or negative role in the modern word?

Arguments

1. Television is now playing a very important part in our lives.

托福口語(yǔ)準(zhǔn)備材料:教你怎么在日常練好口語(yǔ)

其實(shí)英文的表達(dá)和我們母語(yǔ)一樣存在韻律，存在比喻，排比等等，這也正是語(yǔ)言的魅力，它們賦予文字生命，而這些都是讓卡梅倫的演講立顯深情感人的重要因素。截取下面蕩氣回腸的一段帶大家一起感受一下(強(qiáng)烈建議搜音頻親自去聽(tīng)，卡梅倫的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英音，抑揚(yáng)頓挫，升降調(diào)，停頓等等，有時(shí)間的童鞋建議做跟讀模仿~)

And you know what makes us truly great? It’s not our economic or military prowess--it’s our values--British values. Fairness. Freedom. Justice. (雖然看似都是簡(jiǎn)單句，甚至是單詞的羅列，但正是因此精悍停頓而勁道十足，請(qǐng)?bào)w會(huì)音頻中卡梅倫演講至此處時(shí)其中所蘊(yùn)含的力量) The values that say wherever you are, whoever you are, your life has dignity and worth. The values that say we don’t walk on by when people are sick, that we don’t ask for your credit in the hospital, that we don’t turn our backs when you get old and frail(turn one’s back：不予幫助，背棄。口語(yǔ)中完全可以學(xué)著去運(yùn)用，比如描述童年的朋友等人物類話題，不要總說(shuō)help這個(gè)help那個(gè)，用上never turn his/her back on me), that we don’t turn a blind eye or a cold heart to people around the world who are desperate and crying out for help(turn a blind eye to—漠然置之，視而不見(jiàn)。同理，口語(yǔ)中學(xué)著去替換). That is what Britain means. That is what makes us the greatest country on earth.

可見(jiàn)這一段中卡梅倫一開(kāi)始先用簡(jiǎn)單句甚至單詞的羅列表達(dá)中心思想—— British value讓這個(gè)國(guó)家偉大，接著用了大量的value同位語(yǔ)從句排比，以及最后兩個(gè)what引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句排列再次強(qiáng)調(diào)這個(gè)country的great。縱觀下來(lái)，句子長(zhǎng)短交替(即使在中間同位語(yǔ)排比內(nèi)部也存在長(zhǎng)短交替)，排比起勢(shì)浩蕩，怒刷氣場(chǎng)感和節(jié)奏感，而細(xì)看排比內(nèi)容中所羅列的一系列事實(shí)，如關(guān)于生病養(yǎng)老等又恰是最基本的民生舉例，可以說(shuō)直戳受眾心坎兒。當(dāng)然這所有背后的根本意思其實(shí)就是卡梅倫曉之以情，動(dòng)之以理的深情挽留(VOTE NO)。而此處僅僅是小編截取了一小段分析，如果大家有時(shí)間聽(tīng)音頻看原文會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)類似這段的篇幅后面還有多次，大家不妨自己試著體會(huì)分析模仿在托福口語(yǔ)中。

總之，大家看偉大的演講家，不管是馬丁路德金還是奧巴馬，喬布斯，都有同樣的共性。因此感嘆他們高大上的同時(shí)，其實(shí)要明白咱們的新托?？谡Z(yǔ)也可以一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)鍛煉。比如大家出國(guó)后會(huì)有很多做presentation或者演講的機(jī)會(huì)，不防好好利用這些機(jī)會(huì)鍛煉自己的演講水平，還會(huì)讓自己自信心暴漲哦。

新托?？谡Z(yǔ)：要抓住材料主題

眾所周知，為了模擬北美大學(xué)課堂的學(xué)術(shù)氣氛和學(xué)生在校園生活的方方面面，新托福考試的口語(yǔ)部分首次允許考生做課堂筆記(筆記考完要上交，但筆記不算分)、并要求考生能夠發(fā)表自己的意見(jiàn)和看法，而且必須具備對(duì)教授推薦的參考書寫出讀書報(bào)告、闡明自己觀點(diǎn)的能力以及其他處理校園生活中可能遇到的各種情況的能力。本文擬對(duì)新托?？谡Z(yǔ)考試(包括獨(dú)立口語(yǔ)任務(wù)和綜合口語(yǔ)任務(wù))中如何做筆記的問(wèn)題做深人地分析和探討。

Note-taking in the Independent Task

該部分要求考生就某一自己熟悉的話題闡述自己的觀點(diǎn)。一類問(wèn)題是自由回答間題(Free-choice Response)，如：If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Use details to support your. response;另一類是選擇類問(wèn)題(Paired-choice Response)，如：Do you like to try new kinds of food or eat the same kind of food all the time? Use details and examples to support your response,準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間為15秒，回答問(wèn)題時(shí)間為45秒。問(wèn)題會(huì)被朗讀出來(lái)，且同時(shí)出現(xiàn)在屏幕上?？忌梢圆挥美頃?huì)電腦的朗讀，迅速閱讀完問(wèn)題。這樣可以爭(zhēng)取大概5秒，那么在這大約20秒內(nèi)，考生可在草稿紙上迅速記下自己所要表達(dá)的關(guān)鍵信息。這里記筆記的方法為“TST表格”。TST ( Topic-Supporting ideas--Transitions)意思是考生須在草稿紙上用一到兩個(gè)詞寫下欲表達(dá)的Topic(主題)，Supporting ideas(分論點(diǎn))和Transitions(信號(hào)詞)。下面試舉一例：

Question:

Where would you want to be professionally in ten years? Use details to support your response.

考生應(yīng)迅速在紙上寫下“own bus...”、“master”、“work com...”、“start”等信息見(jiàn)以下TST( Topic―Supporting ideas―Transitions )表格。

Topic statement: own bus... (I would like to own my own business) Supporting ideas: ( How I will work toward owning my business)

* master (Will get master's in business )

* work com... (Will work in company while planning my business)

* start (Will start my own business when I am ready)

Transitions: 10 next because 3 within 10 y (可用y代替 years)

Sample Answer

In ten years I would like to win an import business of my own. Next year, I will be starting a master's program in business with a specialization in entrepreneurship. I will be getting this degree because I hope to start my own business and make it successful some day. After I finish my master's degree three years from now, I will most likely take a position in another company for a few years to make some money and to spend some time planning my own business. Within ten years, I hope to own my own company and be on the way to making it a success.

再舉一例：

Question:

Sometimes students have to write papers. Sometimes they have to give oral presentations. Which activity do you think is better for students, and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.
